Successful Promoters/Stalwarts of various industries shared their story of journey to success which inspired budding entrepreneurs and young start-ups to strive for professional excellence and also motivated them to be more focused in their professional career. 

They were also of the opinion that every country, whether developed or developing, needs entrepreneurs. Whereas, a developing country needs entrepreneurs to initiate the process of development, the developed one needs entrepreneurship to sustain it. In the present Indian context, where on one hand, employment opportunities in public sector and large-scale sector are shrinking, on the other hand, entrepreneurship is taking India to the heights of becoming a super economic power. 

Venture Capitalists and Funding Agencies present at the conclave interacted with the budding entrepreneurs and guide them on how to create and pitch successful business ideas in order to get funded for their start-ups. They also shared their key USPs to support Entrepreneurship and Start-Ups.

In a nutshell, the summit created the ultimate networking experience platform, ensuring the participants to meet the right people, in the right business atmosphere through effective curation. Experienced entrepreneurs, leading industry experts, active investors - both angels and institutions, influencers, facilitators, start-ups and of course corporate representatives gathered with only one agenda - BUSINESS.
